Takeoff at reduced thrust is prohibited when?
On slippery or contaminated runways; When suspected, reported, or known windshear is present (e.g., predictive windshear alerts, or ATC-issued windshear alerts for the departure runway or departure path); When a Special Departure Procedure specifies full thrust for takeoff.

Yes. If one of the autoland requirements cannot be met (e.g. strong crosswind), a non-autoland CAT I approach may be conducted down to our lowest authorized CAT I minimums (i.e., 1800 RVR or as published).

Is takeoff with center tank fuel supplying the engines permitted?
It is prohibited
Is taxi with deflated tires permitted?
Yes, given certain conditions are satisfied. However, taxiing the aircraft with deflated tires should only be done if absolutely necessary and all other means of moving the aircraft have been exhausted. Ref. FOM VOL. II, Section 2.10 for details.
When might you consider inhibiting the ROPS function?
A/C 394-399 & 601-699
The ROPS function may be inhibited for a specific approach procedures which have previously been identified as potentially producing undue ROW alerts.
A/C 389-393
When a runway is identified as incompatible with ROPS by Crew briefing item or AIP, the ROPS may be inhibited when the aircraft position is less than 15NM from airfield when:
- for a specific approach procedures which have previously been identified as potentially producing undue ROW alerts.
- if a NOTAM displaces the landings threshold (shortened landing distance available).
